CAT REST. .--These words met our
sight this morning while viewing the
last remains of our departed friend, j.
VIM. Helferstay, We could hardly be-
lieve our eyes, that the one. who, one
year ago was an intimate friend-now
lies dead-gone to his resting place.
We can hardly realize that the one who
used to share our games of boyhood
days has been separated from US III
this world. But, we hope soon to be
united IN the world beyond, where
death never comeS-where burdens
have been laid down and the soul rests
forever. Before dying he told his moth
er who was at his bedside that he was
not afraid to die What a consola-
ton it is to know that the soul depart
ed was prepared. and not afraid to
meet its Maker Thus One more prec-
ious soul has winged its way to that
bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns. The inscription plate on the
casket, bearing the words AT Rest, !.
reminds us that one strong to deliver
has said Come unto me all We that
are heavy laden, and ! will give you-
rest. He was honest, obedient and
faithful to all who knew him. We
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
family, and sadly feel the loss Of our
former playmate, friend and associate

DETECTED IN THEFT SHOOTS
And KILLS HIMSELF,
HAYS BOOK STORE TIE SCENE OF
TEE TRAGEDY.
Hagerstown Daily News.


Last night about Io:45 O'Clock, the re-
port was spread upon the street that
ira w. HAYES, editor Of the Globe had
killed man in his store room. Upon
investigation we found the body of A.
l. Bowser, lying behind the counter in
the front of the store, with pistol shot
wound in his head.
Bowser who has been an employee of
Mr.. Hays for about 10 years, was sus-
pected and was watched on a previous
occasion, but he did not then make his
appearance. On last evening he had
an excuse to come back after working
hours and passed out into the printing
office, as he did so he loosed the bolt on
the outside shutter, also the shutter on
the inside between the Office and store.
and he was followed and the whole
scheme was thus laid bare.
Mr.. Ira Hays and Walter Wolf secret-
ed themselves in the rear of the store
and waited for him. He came in as they
expected. tiptoed to the front of the
store behind the counter and immcdi-
ately went through the change boxes.
Mr.. Havs waited until he. thought he
had gotten the money, then he said to
Wolf are you ready, he replied in the
affirmative, when HAYS counted one,
two. three and jumped on counter
with his revolver i'll his left hand and
struck match and lit the gas. Then
he Jumped down and called out, eve
know you. Abe, don't make any fuss. 4
Then shot was fred by Bowser and
HAYS ran up to the upper part OF the
store and half hiding behind counter,
nut his hand out and fired a shot, firing
low. No further shots being fred Hays
called to him to come out, and said no
BODY should know of it, after failing to
get any response he told Wolf to go for
a policeman or some one else. Upon
the arrival of several persons Hays
vent up to the front of the store and
looking over the counter saw Bowser
living on the floor with revolver at his
feet. One of the parties who came III
examined the body and found his pulse
still beating. He than telephoned Dr..
Mop. Scott to come down, saying he
had shot man.
The hair of the deceased was singed
and his face and ear blackened with
powder showing conclusively that the
man upon being detected killed himself.
Upon examining the pockets OF the
dead man sum Of money amounting
to something overfve dollars was found
in his pockets, mostly composed OF
dimes~and nickles.

Facts About Robert Il. Lincoln.

Expressing a strong aversion to public
life, Robert T. Lincoln, while not definitely
declining an untendered nomination for the
presidency, makes clear his unwilingness
to be considered candidate. Mr.. Lincoln
lacks the temperament of publicist.
cabinet officer during the Arthur admins
tration, he was not wholly stranger to the
stump, but ii cannot be recalled that he has
ever given utterance TO a thought which
stirred the public pulse or dwelt in mems
memories beyond a single political cam
paign. AT no time has he led or evinced
capability for leadership, He commenced
his career as an assistant Acknowledgement
of volunteers, with the rank of captain,
serving few months at the headquarters
of the armies operating against Richmond.
He resigned in June, 1860, to enter the ac-
tivities of the profession for which he had
qualified at Harvard, and in the course of
years has succeeded in establishing profit
able practice in one branch of the law and
gaining reputation as a painstaking and
capable attorney. AS supervisor of the
south town of Chicago he did useful service
to the public at an important crisis in the
affairs of the town. In 1880 he was a deter
mined rather than an ardent advocate of "A
third term for General Grant, and as one of
the three hundred six entered the Chicago
convention. This established his reputation
as a stalwart and might seem to forbid his
choice in cabinet formed by Garfield, with
Blaine as its leading member, but Garfield,
WHO was DOln pOllllC anu WAS
gratitied at the opportunity OF recognizing
the stalwart faction in "A person bearing the
revered name of Lincoln. OF the Garfield
cabinet Arthur retained only Lincoln, who
may have felt more at home in the official
company of men with whom he had been in
closer political accord. The war Office in
time of profound peace is place of rou-
tine, governed by tradition. Its admins
tration is perfunctory. A capable lawyer of
even and unimaginative temperament would
have no difficulty in meeting its require
ments. The tremendous industry, the in
domitable personality, the arbitrary use or
abuse of discretion shown by Stanton
during a period when the war Office
was the center of prodigious activities
have not been in demand since that era of
stupendous events Robert L. Lincoln was
discreet and capable, but hardly dis
| tinguished, in his management of the war
Office on peace footing. Mr.. Lincoln is
now forty-four years of age. Personally he
is not known at single crossroads. He is
unidentified with any popular movement
He has never been the champion of an idea

Prominent VOcalists.

One of the best American tenors Is Court
ney, who is popular both as a teacher and
also as a concert vocalist. His fee in the
aforementioned service is from S1.50 to 50 a
lesson, while for concerts he will receive
from $50 to 500. This may seem large
fee, but then just see how much practice it
requires and how much time it consumes.
Fritsch is also popular tenor. He sings at
the Jewish tabernacle and also at Paxton's
church. and probably receives from both
SO, 800 year. He also has a large income
from his pupils Lawton, who is another
popular vocalist, was for "A time in the service
of the Roman Catholic cathedral at a liberal
salary. He is now rusticating at Lake George
with his wife, who, as Henrietta Beebe holds
a leading position in the choir of Paxton's
church and draws a salary of $1,000 year.
Among other popular female vocalists
is Miss Stewart, the soprano of the cathe-
dral Another of the same class is Miss
Helen ID. Campbell, who is one of the best
contratos in this city. She sings at the
Church of the Holy Spirit and receives $500.
Miss Charlotte Walker, who is a fine soprano,
has choir engagement which is worth $500.
The reason why larger sum is paid at Pax
toms church is no doubt found in the liber-
atty of some rich men who are willing to
supplement the church appropriation. This
was the reason why Emma Thursby received
$4,000 when she sang at the Broadway tab
ernacle. The regular salary was much lower,
but a few rich men made up the difference
!
like Miss Thursby will expect from 800 to
$500 for assisting in a tirst-class concert.
When any such performer gives concert
on ones own account they do well to clear
$500, Miss Thursby went to Europe for in
struction, but there are teachers in this city
fully equal to those of the old world, and
! they who now 90 thither to study music
rely chiefly on the reputation it gives.
Nothing like dear bought and far-fetched.
| When any one comes to this city to study
music the first step is to have the voice
tried by an expert vocalist. The charge is
from 50 to s., and if the opinion is favor
able, then teachers of all variety of grades
and prices may be found. The most dis
tinguished of this number is Nine. Cap
| piani whose fee is IS lesson, the latter
| being limited to forty-hve minutes. Nine.
Cappiani is busy from seven to nine hours
day during the season, and is often obliged
to decline pupils. Music, like everything
else has its brokers, and there are a number
of places where engagements are made and
where you can get any required talent on
short notice.-Ne,c York Paper.

democratic party is kept in power in
those states and by the same means
succeeded in electing democratic
president in 1884. In a recent review
of the political situation, Governor
Foraker of Ohio justly said: " Repub-
licans ask no more than that every man
shall be allowed to vote as he may
choose, and that his ballot shall be
counted as cast. They will not be con-
tent with less, and it may as well be
understood that there will be no peace
or quiet until their just demand is fully
conceded" The theory of the gov
eminent is that every man has equal
political rights, but the fact is that the
executive and one branch of congress
to-day are controlled in violation of
this theory. Governor Foraker de-
clares that cit may as well be under
stood that there will be no peace or
quiet until this democratic system, by
which the majority is deprived of the
right to govern by despoiling part of
the people of political rights, is over
turned, and every man in the land can
freely vote any ballot he may choose
and have that ballot fairly counted"
He ridicules the idea that there is no
remedy for this great wrong, and says:
IF there is no provision to meet such
a case, then the reason becomes all the
more urgent for the services of party
that can and will devise way to cor
rect such abuses, and thus save our
government from another wrench of
violence that will otherwise surely and
speedily come" That the democratic
party managers have suppressed re-
publican maiorities in at least five
Southern States is undeniable. 1t is
the policy of the party in power to con-
tinue this state of things. When the
democratic party consents to abandon
this outrage and wrong upon the suf-
frage of free people then will section
alism be dead and the so-called bloody
shirt" will be permanently retired from
public view.

In eminently respectable fashion he makes
his walk along the profitable lines of pro-
fessonal practice which seldom carries him
to the bar. Rich in the reflected repute of
an honorable name that he himself has done
nothing to tarLish and little to augment,
Mr.. Lincon's individuality is not stronger
than that of a thousand other respectable
lawyers in the republic. AT forty-four
years of age Abraham Lincoln had served
both in the Legislature and in congress.
He had no rich clients, but he had strong
following among electors, and was giving
utterance to ideas which were making an
impression far beyond the vicinage of the
stump whence he emitted them. A little
later he was engaged in the presence not
only of Illinois, but of the Unor, in the ia
nous debate with Douglas. He was con-
stantly before the people with utterances
which were food for thought. He was max
ing success upon his merit. He blazed his
own way. In the history of the republic
he became a colossus. He leaves a name
which it occurs to certain men seeking
presidential candidate may be utilized for
purposes of party success. Inheriting none
of the public traits of his father and dis
playing none of his strikingly intellectual
strength and mental prediction for large
| questions of public concern, Robert T. Lin
! coin has hard shrewdness OF his own which -,
! enabling him to pursue success in congenial
directions, repels him from ambition for an
| unsuitable career and prevents his misap-
| prehenson of the underlying motive in
! present agitation for his advancement to a
/ post in which his father earned undying
fame. AS presidential candidate Robert
! T. Lincoln would be the shadow of a shade.
He would bring strength to his party where
| it needs none. The West would vote for
him, but the West would vote for any re-
publican candidate. A few thousand ma
| jority, more or less, would he meaningless
for practical purposes. What would be his
standing in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut? In those states the contest of
next year is to be determined.-Ch Chicago
